INDIAN PHILOSOPHICAL PRACTITIONERS' ASSOCIATION

ALL INDIA PHILOSOPHICAL PRACTITIONERS’ ASSOCIATION

(AIPPA)

A network of philosophical practitioners working in India

Philosophical Practice is a relatively new thing for India. The biggest challenge before philosophical practitioners is to introduce and establish their profession. Philosophical Practitioners have to put hard effort to respond basic queries about their profession. Philosophical Practitioners claim that philosophy is relevant to everyday life and to the person in the street. It is a big claim which needs to be proved demonstratively in practice. They have to prove relevance of philosophy as well as relevance of their profession that is called philosophical practice. AIPPA is an effort to address these issues whom any philosophical practitioner working in India faces in his daily routine work.
